Costs Rise for Front Foot Property Assessments
The council discusses a proposed 4 dollars per front foot charge for the first 60 feet and 2 dollars for each additional front foot with Mayor Williams and Mayor Pro-Tem Snyder debating urban renewal pricing. Construction cost increases are noted, and the price will stay the same in the current project until nearby streets are finished. First and second readings were given to an ordinance on streets in the Hord and Craig area near Audrain Hospital. The Jackson Street traffic opening is slated for next week after concrete work. The Hughes subdivision was approved for commercial zoning, with plans to attract small business. The item notes extended care unit expansion and new visitor estimates.

Anticrime Bill Clears Congress With Tough Provisions
Congress sent to the White House a hard anticrime bill targeting campus bombings and criminal networks. It grants FBI power to probe bombings at federally funded institutions, imposes death penalties for fatal bombings, and increases penalties for professional criminals. The measure broadens federal crimes to include large-scale illicit gambling and bribery of local officials tied to gambling. House and Senate conferrees also approve shifts in narcotics penalties toward traffickers, authorize no knock raids after judicial approval, and set marijuana as a misdemeanor on first offense with new treatment funding and drug distribution controls. The bill moves to President Nixon for signature.
